Seeing Ji Chen’s astonished expression, Elin couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. “These two treasures are quite powerful, aren’t they? 1 expended a tremendous amount of effort and resources to acquire them from elsewhere… Ahem, I mean, I obtained them, and even among 7-star treasures, they can be considered top-notch.”

“The Illusory Mask is a remarkable treasure that conceals one’s identity and presence from the world. When you wear it, even if you stand before the most familiar people, you won’t be recognized.

As for the Void Ring, for strong individuals like us, it might not be as precious anymore, but for someone like you who is still in the growth stage, it’s a life-saving treasure that significantly enhances your survival rate.”

As the conversation shifted, Elin suddenly spoke with a serious tone, her words carrying weight.

“I must admit that you possess undeniable potential, but that’s just potential. During your journey of growth, countless beings with formidable potential have fallen due to various reasons.

Only those who survive until the end have the chance to become strong.

These two treasures aren’t the strongest, but they are the most suitable for you at the moment. 1 hope you understand.”

Ji Chen looked at the two treasures suspended in the air and nodded in agreement, a sense of gratitude welling up within him.

As an epic tier powerhouse, Elin could easily have chosen two 7-star treasures to fulfill her promise without much thought, casually appeasing the situation.

Even if she had done so, Ji Chen wouldn’t have had any means to object. After all, the gap in strength between them was immense at this point – the combined power of the entire Ocean Crown wouldn’t be sufficient to challenge a few of her skills.

However, Elin chose not to take that approach. Instead, she meticulously selected these two items.

Even he had to admit that these two treasures had a high cost-effectiveness and were in line with his preferences.

One concealed his identity, allowing him to deceive enemies and remain hidden in the world.

The other provided a means of escape and instant evasion from dangerous situations, accompanied by long-distance teleportation capabilities.

As Elin had said, perhaps they weren’t the absolute strongest, but they were undoubtedly the most suitable for him.

Gazing intently at Elin, Ji Chen earnestly expressed his gratitude.

Seeing his reaction, Elin smiled and nodded before transforming back into her quirky elven appearance.

“Opening the Void Tunnel took quite a bit of effort from me. 1 need to continue resting now. You can continue handling the affairs of the domain. Goodbye!”

With that, Elin hummed a tune as she walked out, presumably heading to some spot on the island for leisure.

Watching Elin depart with such carefree grace, a hint of envy stirred within Ji Chen.

No need to be concerned about complex domain matters, no requirement to factor in the influence of various factions, and possessing personal power capable of traversing the majority of the world.

Wasn’t this the lifestyle of a triumphant individual?

However, soon, this envy transformed into motivation. When the Ocean Crown became an immensely powerful domain that could operate autonomously without his intervention, he could also lead such a life.

Ji Chen placed the Illusory Mask into his backpack and wore the Void Ring on his finger. Feeling the cool sensation of the ring against his skin, a sense of security washed over him.

A thought of trying something out crossed Ji Chen’s mind.

Without any delay, he activated the ability of the Void Ring. The next moment, Ji Chen’s figure vanished and reappeared on a mountaintop enveloped in mist.

The sensation shifted from warmth and comfort to coldness.

Yet Ji Chen didn’t mind in the least. On the contrary, he eagerly looked around, quickly recognizing a familiar and warm cave nearby. Confirming that he had arrived at the mountaintop of the northeastern peak of the main island, he felt a sense of familiarity.

This location was not more than ten kilometers in a straight line from the Lord Manor of the Ocean Crown, or at least seven to eight kilometers.

In other words, as long as the straight-line distance between two places didn’t exceed ten kilometers, regardless of whether it was upward or downward, the Void Ring could transport him there.

Ji Chen was in high spirits.

With this Void Ring, unless he encountered insane level powerhouses, surviving was nearly guaranteed!

After a brief stay on the mountaintop, he waited for the cooldown of the Void Ring’s teleportation ability and used it once again to return to the Lord Manor.

As soon as he returned, he spotted Wilus looking around. Ji Chen spoke up, breaking the abrupt silence.

“Wilus.”

The sudden voice startled Wilus, causing him to turn around. Seeing Ji Chen appear behind him, Wilus wore a bewildered expression. “My Lord, how did you suddenly appear here? There was no one here just a moment ago…”

“No need to worry. It’s a skill from a treasure I recently acquired.” Ji Chen briefly explained, then asked, “Is there something you need from me?”

Suppressing his surprise, Wilus responded, “My Lord, as you instructed earlier, I’ve completed the task of selecting residents with exceptional potential.”

Hearing this, Ji Chen nodded in realization. He had given the order to Wilus to select twenty residents from various professions who possessed outstanding life skills just two days ago when he had returned.

The intention behind this was to use the Heroic Soul Essences obtained from the Skeleton Secret Realm to transform these chosen residents into heroes.

From the Mystic Realm, Ji Chen had obtained a total of 37 white Heroic Soul Essences, 12 green ones, 5 blue ones, and 1 red one dropped by Solin.

Ji Chen planned to allocate a portion of these Heroic Soul Essences to the development of his domain, cultivating a group of heroes specialized in various life skills.

“Bring them here now.”

“Yes!” Wilus replied, saluted, and quickly left the room. In a little over ten minutes, he returned with twenty residents in tow..
